Coastal Carolina Research Center (CCRC) is a locally-owned dedicated medical research facility focused on conducting clinical trials on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and other Sponsors. We provide access for thousands of Charleston Lowcountry citizens who are interested in volunteering for and participating in clinical trials and research studies.

CCRC recognizes that our most compelling opportunity is to replace the public’s apprehension or misconception of clinical research with a full understanding of, appreciation for and involvement in the positive impact trial results have in the lives of participants and the world at large.
